Fairs contribute effectively to economic growth, in addition to their being a means to make known the products made by the countries. They also represent a basic revenue and employment opportunities even though, in our Arab world, the number of fairs does not exceed 1.7% of the total number of fairsheld annually throughoutthe world, over 30'000, and in whose orbit move close to US$ 6.1 trillion. They also account for 40% of all marketing strategies.

In the light of that, the General Committee on Fairs in Libya undertook to remove all obstacles and provide all facilities to ensure the success of the Tripoli World Fair.

The Tripoli World Fair is currently the most remarkable window in the Libyan economy as it has become a destination for businessman from all over the world seeking to penetrate the Libyan market which witnesses a steady and unparalleled growth in terms of the number of transactions carried out and that of the states and companies participating in it.
